CP Forums, Basics for rules. Options

[CP]

Guess it's time we cover this again...... We don't really like to push rules onto folks
We don't edit or delete or even lock topics here very often....... we keep the topics informative, fun, friendly, and RESPECTFUL!!!

In addition to the forum agreement we REQUIRE!

MAIN RULE AT CP FORUM-RESPECT ALL OTHER MEMBERS!

Respectful - members who participate here WILL BE RESPECTFUL OF OTHERS!
Good rule of thumb.....If you wouldn't want someone else talking to you that way.....DON'T DO IT HERE!!

Personal conflicts can and should stay private......There is never a clear definition it seems but basically if it doesn't affect anyone other than you and the person you're in conflict with....then the rest of us probably don't need to hear it!

We welcome everyone to use the forums...post photos, post club events, post for sale items, have fun and learn with us all!
Photo size best used is 640 x 480 or smaller, but if you don't know how to resize Mrs.CP is willing to help when she gets a moment or two.

We do reserve the right to edit, move and/or delete ANY POSTINGS as we see fit.

We also may add too or change these rules as we see fit over time.

We are not responsible for the information in any posts made by any other forum members.....If you see information that is wrong as you know it....you are welcome to post a correction reply, as long as you follow the main rule (mentioned above) and can be respectful to other forum members.....We all want to know the correct information.
We are very lucky to have an excellent member group in this forum and the information is there for the asking. If you have questions feel free to ask ..... someone will either know the answer and post it or they will know where to find the answer and a link is usually posted.

As far as posting links to other sites...yes, please do...that is what the internet is for.

The whole point of having the forum is so we can all learn as a collective......Learning as a group we all gain a much better perspective on the real deal! What ever topic may be discussed.

Have a great day everyone!

count me IN
I've never been to Vic's nor prospected in that area and think it would be really fun!

Here's a video you probably haven't seen as I didn't have it linked on my menu. It's a cleanup from at a trip the group made to Vic's after the rally. It features the whole CP crew.

Here's another one that is probably new, most of it, to you.

I made it to use as a presentation for prospecting clubs as kind of an introduction to prospecting. There's new material featuring Denise, the human backhoe. Now thats "back" hoe, not ##.

It's 22 minutes and a bunch of megs in size. I just downloaded it with my 1.5 meg dsl and it worked ok. There's some shots of my Douglas creek Wyoming claim. I will be there over the 4th of July and you all are welcome to join us. Us as in the CCC, Colorado Culture Connection. I'll tell you what the CCC is around the campfire, we have very big ones, after a few cool ones. It's kind of a long story.

Nice videos from Vic's, Leonard - Thanks for posting those. I've been to Vic's 3-4 times over the past 3 years and have not found anywhere near the amount or size of gold you you showed in the cleanup. I went to Blackhawk this past Sunday for a quick visit to the Isle before prospecting on Clear Creek and saw excavation work going on past Vic's just below BH in the creek - excavator, dozer, big-dude rock screen. Maybe they're starting to work on the road widening project. If that's true, it must mean Vic's time is limited there. Too bad - Jess and John have treated me fairly and have always been good to their customers, at least from my few times there. I'd love to get a chance to pull a few buckets of material where the equipment is digging in the creek.

That wasnt just a clean up from Vic's. That was my early clean up from the trommel ramp that day....and also my first nugget find.
Thanks for catching it on video Leonard. I wanted to keep digging (as Im a human backhoe ) but the guys wanted to use my cons to play with and film. Guess they knew whos cons would show the most color!

Here are more pics of the reclamation project of the trommel ramp and some of the gold found.

What do ya think, guys? Are we gonna do it or not? We have a few votes already.....
Besides, how is Jesse doing now?

[swizz]

'Pick' a day... I'll meet ya there.

It sounds great guys! We havent talked to Jesse in a long time, but we will try to get ahold of him and see whats going on that way.
They sure have given him alot of hell over the years, and it doesnt sound like its getting any better for him sadly.

I sure have alot of great memories from there. That panning place has been there for over 50 years, and one can still find gold there today.

Let me know. I would be happy to bring my equipment to an outting there. I have some video that I will try to post of some other outtings there in the past. If I can help, let me know, money or equipment.

Thats great Leonard, you are awesome. The first thing we need to do though, is get ahold of Jesse and see whats going on his way.
